Job description

Senior finance professionals

Bring your finance expertise, commercial judgment, and leadership experience to work that creates lasting client value.

Build what leading CFOs will need next

The next generation of finance will not be built by technology alone.

Finance functions need to protect the business, improve performance, help leaders understand what is coming, and create long-term value. Doing this well requires people who can connect finance strategy, industry knowledge, processes, data, AI, platforms, talent, and delivery.

Accenture's Finance Reinvention Partner brings these areas together in one accountable team. We advise, build, and operate across the full transformation, from the first value case through implementation, adoption, ongoing operations, and measurable results.

We are looking for experienced finance professionals who bring clear depth in at least one of two areas:

• Strong finance and transformation experience in one or more priority industries
• Deep expertise in one or more Finance Reinvention capabilities

This is a broad role, but it is not a generalist role. You should bring a strong point of view, practical experience, and recognized credibility in an area that matters to CFOs and finance leaders. Industry-focused candidates should understand how organizations in their sector make money, invest, manage risk, and measure performance. Capability-focused candidates should be able to develop and apply deep expertise across clients and industries.

We will shape the role around your experience, strengths, and the market you can help us build.

Our priority industries

For industry-focused profiles, we are particularly interested in experience in one or more of the following industry groups:

• Products: Consumer Goods and Services, Retail, Travel, Industrials, and Life Sciences
• Resources: Energy, Utilities, Chemicals, and Natural Resources
• Communications, Media and Technology
• Health and Public Service

Our industry work starts with how each sector operates. We focus on its economics, value drivers, investment priorities, and day-to-day realities rather than starting with the features of a particular technology platform.

You may have worked as a finance executive, business finance leader, transformation leader, advisor, or program owner within one of these industries. What matters is that you understand the business, can build trust with senior decision-makers, and know how to turn industry challenges into practical finance transformation opportunities.

Our Finance Reinvention capabilities

For capability-focused profiles, we are looking for deep expertise in one or more of the following areas:

1. Value Creation and Resilience

Help CFOs strengthen enterprise value, capital efficiency, liquidity, resilience, and investor confidence. The work may include finance operating model design, M&A integration and divestitures, treasury, tax, ESG intelligence, capital allocation, and performance improvement.

2. Reinvented Finance Core

Redesign the core processes that keep finance running, including record to insight, invoice to pay, order or contract to cash, regulatory controls and compliance, acquire to retire, and product costing. The goal is to reduce manual work, improve working capital, speed up the close, strengthen controls, and free finance teams to spend more time supporting the business.

3. Planning and Performance Analysis

Modernize FP&A through connected planning and forecasting, scenario modeling, predictive insights, and better decision support. This work helps organizations improve forecast accuracy, respond faster to change, connect financial and operational planning, and make better business decisions.

4. Finance Platform Transformation

Create AI-ready technology and data foundation for finance. The work may include business-first transformation, ERP and finance application modernization, connected architecture, and connected finance data. The goal is to reduce technology debt and total cost of ownership while creating a platform that supports continuous improvement.

Across all four capabilities, we want our offerings to be relevant to the client, grounded in value, shaped by industry needs, end to end, and designed with AI at the core. Your background may come from consulting, a leading company, or both. We value advisoryexperience, but we also value practical experience from finance leadership, business finance, transformation, technology, or major program ownership.

What you will do

The exact focus of the role will depend on whether your strongest contribution is within an industry, a Finance Reinvention capability, or a combination of both.

You may:

• Act as a trusted partner to CFOs and finance leaders in your selected industry or capability area.
• Develop a clear point of view on the finance topics in which you bring the greatest experience.
• Connect changes in markets, industries, finance, technology, and AI with the priorities of CFOs and finance leaders.
• Identify and pursue opportunities where Accenture can make a meaningful difference.
• Assume accountability for defining and driving the actions needed to reach financial targets for selected industries, capabilities, or client portfolios.
• Use Accenture's global network and expertise to create practical and differentiated Finance Reinvention propositions.
• Build trusted relationships with senior clients, identify important business needs, and shape value cases, transformation roadmaps, proposals, and commercial models.
• Lead major client engagements from strategy and design through implementation, adoption, operations, and results.
• Bring together the right people from across Accenture and our partner ecosystem.
• Ensure delivery quality and help teams solve difficult client challenges.
• Develop colleagues and turn successful client work into reusable methods, assets, and market offerings.
• Help grow our Finance Reinvention business, client relationships, and team.

Commercial and market leadership

This role calls for more than deep subject matter expertise. We are looking for people who can turn their industry knowledge or capability expertise into strong executive conversations, identify real client needs, and build relationships that lead to sustainable client value and business growth. An established professional network among CFOs, finance transformation leaders, business executives, or relevant ecosystem partners in Finland is a requirement.

You are also expected to have a proven commercial track record, for example from professional services sales within the finance domain. Commercial experience from a client-side role is also valuable. You may have:

• Built and secured approval for major investment cases
• Influenced boards, executive teams, and business leaders
• Selected and managed consulting or technology partners
• Mobilized large transformation programs
• Expanded an initial project into a broader change agenda
• Identified opportunities to improve performance, resilience, or enterprise value

The experience we value

You will bring many of the following:

• A strong track record in finance leadership, finance transformation, management consulting, business transformation, or enterprise transformation
• Deep expertise in at least one priority industry or one Finance Reinvention capability
• A clear and credible point of view on the CFO agenda in your area of expertise
• Experience taking major finance initiatives from strategy and business case through implementation, adoption, and results
• Experience leading complex programs with multiple stakeholders
• The ability to move from a strategic idea to practical execution and clear business results
• The ability to explain complex finance, industry, process, data, or technology topics in straightforward business language
• Credibility with CFOs, controllers, finance transformation leaders, business leaders, and other senior stakeholders
• A proven commercial track record and the ability to build lasting senior client relationships and drive new business
• Experience leading teams across finance, business, operations, data, and technology
• A practical understanding of how AI, automation, data, controls, process design, and human judgment need to work together
• The ability to lead executive discussions in Finnish and English

Depending on your profile, we also value:

• For industry-focused professionals, a strong understanding of industry economics, value drivers, investment priorities, and operating realities
• For capability-focused professionals, recognized expertise in Value Creation and Resilience, Reinvented Finance Core, Planning and Performance Analysis, or Finance Platform Transformation
• For platform-focused professionals, experience with major ERP, EPM, finance data, or enterprise transformation platforms

Make Finance Reinvention part of your career

You may have spent years transforming finance from inside an organization and now want to use that experience with a wider range of companies. Or you may already work in consulting and be looking for broader ownership, stronger delivery capabilities, and the opportunity to build a market around an industry or capability you know well.

• Where you bring the greatest depth, whether in an industry, a Finance Reinvention capability, or both
• Which client opportunities you believe Accenture should pursue
• What commercial experience and professional relationships you would bring to the team
